What's New at Tysons Corner Center & Tysons Galleria in 2026

Published April 15, 2026 · By The Jamil Brothers Realty Group

Tysons is in the middle of one of the most active retail reinventions in its nearly 60-year history. Between Level99's 40,000-square-foot entertainment arena now fully open at Tysons Corner Center, a Dick's House of Sport under construction in the former Lord & Taylor space, and Louis Vuitton and Cartier expanding their footprints across the street at Tysons Galleria — there is more happening at these two malls right now than at any point in recent memory. For Northern Virginia residents and anyone paying attention to Fairfax County real estate, that's not just interesting shopping news. It's a signal about where demand is heading, which neighborhoods are gaining value, and what the Tysons corridor looks like for the next decade.

This guide covers everything open now, everything coming soon, and the real estate implications for buyers, sellers, and investors who are keeping an eye on one of Northern Virginia's most dynamic submarkets.

1 🏙️ The Big Picture: Two Malls, One Major Transformation

If you haven't walked through Tysons recently, you'd be forgiven for thinking the retail landscape looks the same as it did five years ago. It doesn't. Both Tysons Corner Center (owned by Macerich) and Tysons Galleria (owned by Brookfield Properties) are in the middle of ambitious, multi-year transformations that are reshaping not just the malls themselves, but the surrounding real estate market.

Tysons Corner Center — the larger of the two, often called "Tysons I" — is leaning into an entertainment-and-experience model. Think interactive gaming venues, EV showrooms, expanded sportswear flagships, and a steady pipeline of digitally-native and experiential brands that are choosing physical retail in Tysons over almost anywhere else in Northern Virginia. Meanwhile, Tysons Galleria — "Tysons II," the luxury counterpart — is doubling down on high-end fashion and jewelry, with two of the biggest names in global luxury retail expanding their presence there in 2026.

2 🎮 Tysons Corner Center: What's Open Right Now

The past year has been one of the most active opening streaks in Tysons Corner Center's history. Here's what you can visit today:

It's worth noting that Tysons Corner Center earned national recognition during this run, landing at No. 9 on USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice list of the Top 10 Malls in the United States — recognized for its diverse stores, dining, and engaging experiences.

3 🔜 Tysons Corner Center: What's Coming Soon

The leasing pipeline at Tysons Corner Center remains one of the most active in the region. Several high-profile names are confirmed or strongly indicated for 2026:

• Dick's House of Sport Coming 2026 — Announced in February 2026, the large-format Dick's Sporting Goods concept will fill the former Lord & Taylor anchor space. Dick's House of Sport is among the chain's most immersive store formats, combining sports retail with on-site activity areas.
• Maggiano's Little Italy Coming 2026 — Confirmed on Level 1 near Coastal Flats. Maggiano's is relocating from Tysons Galleria, where it operated for years. The mall's directory now shows it as "coming soon."
• Pop Mart Q4 2026 Estimated — The collectible toy brand behind the viral Labubu craze is opening a full store on Level 1 next to GameStop. Two Pop Mart vending kiosks are already operating in the mall.
• Sloomoo Institute Summer 2026 Estimated — The experiential slime-focused concept is listed in the mall directory on Level 1 and reported to be targeting a summer 2026 opening.
• Skims Coming — Kim Kardashian's shapewear brand, set to open next to Sephora on Level 2.
• The Escape Game Coming — Another entertainment addition confirmed for the mall, furthering Tysons Corner Center's pivot toward destination experiences.
• Zara Coming — Expanding into the former two-story Gap space, giving the Spanish fast-fashion giant a significantly larger footprint.

4 💎 Tysons Galleria: Luxury Is Getting a Bigger Stage

Across Chain Bridge Road, Tysons Galleria is making a different kind of statement. The Brookfield Properties-owned mall is positioning itself as the DMV's answer to Rodeo Drive, and 2026 is bringing two of the most recognizable names in global luxury retail to a larger and more prominent presence in Northern Virginia.

The Galleria already houses Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Balenciaga, Burberry, Bottega Veneta, David Yurman, De Beers, Saint Laurent, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Versace — making it one of the most concentrated luxury retail destinations on the East Coast outside of Manhattan and Beverly Hills. The addition of expanded Louis Vuitton and Cartier flagships in 2026 cements that positioning for the foreseeable future.

5 🔄 Tysons Galleria: Tenant Shifts & What's Changing

Not everything at Tysons Galleria is expansion news. One of the most-watched developments in early 2026 was the announcement of Saks Fifth Avenue's planned closure at the Galleria. In March 2026, Saks Global announced the closure of 12 Saks Fifth Avenue locations and 3 Neiman Marcus stores nationwide as part of a cost-reduction strategy focused on higher-performing locations. The Tysons Galleria Saks was among those named.

The dining side of the Galleria has also seen notable tenant movement. The Cheesecake Factory relocated to Tysons Corner Center in late 2024, and Maggiano's Little Italy is preparing to make the same cross-street move in 2026. Bowlero and a movie theater anchor the former Macy's space on the Galleria's lower level, continuing to serve as destination entertainment draws for the surrounding community.

6 🍽️ The Dining Scene Reshuffling

One of the more interesting storylines across both Tysons malls is the migration of mid-priced casual dining anchor restaurants from Tysons Galleria to Tysons Corner Center. This isn't random — it reflects a broader strategic difference between the two properties.

• Cheesecake Factory: Moved from Tysons Galleria to Tysons Corner Center's renovated east end in late 2024, where it now anchors alongside Level99 and an updated common area with new flooring, ceilings, lighting, and a metal art fixture.
• Maggiano's Little Italy: Currently listed as "coming soon" at Tysons Corner Center on Level 1 near Coastal Flats, relocating from its longtime Tysons Galleria home. Italian-American cuisine with a full cocktail menu and specialty desserts.
• Victory Brewing: Paired with Level99 as the entertainment venue's dedicated craft food and beverage partner — part of the broader push to keep visitors in the mall for extended periods.

The pattern here is clear: Tysons Galleria is tightening its focus around ultra-premium dining and luxury retail, while Tysons Corner Center absorbs a wider range of accessible, high-volume dining concepts that complement its entertainment-forward tenant mix.

7 🏠 What This Means for Tysons Real Estate

The question Northern Virginia homeowners and buyers are quietly asking is: does all of this mall activity actually move the needle on property values? The research suggests it does — and it's already showing in the numbers.

Current market data for the Tysons corridor shows home prices ranging from approximately $544,000 for condos and smaller properties to well over $1.6 million for single-family homes in surrounding neighborhoods like McLean and Vienna. Fairfax County overall is projected to see 3–5% price appreciation in 2026, driven in part by continued commercial investment in walkable, transit-accessible corridors like Tysons.

The broader Tysons urban development story is also relevant. What was once a car-centric office park has been steadily transformed into a walkable, mixed-use urban center — residential towers, office buildings, hotel expansions, and retail all feeding off one another. Four Silver Line Metro stations serve the Tysons area, and the area's walkability score continues to improve as new residential and commercial construction fills in the urban grid.

For buyers interested in the Tysons-adjacent market — whether that's a high-rise condo steps from the Silver Line or a single-family home in McLean or Vienna — now is a useful time to search available homes near Tysons before the 2026 appreciation cycle is fully priced in.

8 🗺️ The Northern Virginia Connection: Spillover & Demand

Tysons doesn't exist in a vacuum. It sits at the geographic and economic center of Northern Virginia's most densely populated employment corridor — sandwiched between McLean and Vienna, a short drive from Reston, and connected by Metro to Arlington, Alexandria, and Washington, D.C. That position means that what happens at Tysons tends to ripple outward in terms of both foot traffic and real estate demand.

Residents of Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Arlington, and Prince William County all orbit Tysons as their primary regional shopping destination. The malls collectively draw visitors from a multi-state area, and as the tenant lineup gets stronger, that gravitational pull intensifies. More visits to Tysons means more people exposed to the surrounding neighborhoods — and more buyers considering the area when they decide it's time to move.

9 📋 How to Position Yourself as a Buyer or Seller

Whether you're buying or selling near Tysons, the current environment calls for a clear strategy — not just a passive "wait and see" approach.

If you're a buyer: The Tysons corridor is in an active appreciation phase. Waiting for the market to cool while major national brands continue signing leases and building out flagship stores is a risky calculus. Getting into a condo or townhome near a Silver Line station now — before Dick's House of Sport opens, before Sloomoo Institute draws weekend crowds, before Pop Mart has a line out the door — positions you ahead of demand. Search available homes in Northern Virginia to see what's in your price range today.

If you're a seller: The 2026 appreciation window is real, but timing still matters. Sellers who list in a market where buyers are already emotionally connected to an area — and Tysons buyers are exactly that — command better prices and shorter days on market.
